{MY LONG SHELF}
Hi there YA’LL-
OK- I am going to answer this question I get alot- via email. 😉
“WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR LONG SHELF?” HA- you guys crack me up. OK’ TRULY its fab. though right? TO ANSWER YOU all- “I GOT IT ON “CRAIGS LIST” under “HOUSEHOLD” LOVE CRAIGSLIST!
ABOUT THE SHELF-
an elderly woman was selling the beaut. Its about 11 feet long- KILLER AWESOME LONG. I bought it, you all are going to die……….. for $25.00 dollars. Why do I say you will die? Well it is solid Knotty Pine wood. The smaller shelf’s in the craft stores with only 2 to 4 faux drawers un-finished wood.. sale for anywhere between $49.00 and $89.00 dollars and they are only 2 to maybe 6 feet long. Ok’ really I am not trying to rub it in. EEEK! I TOTALLY SCORED. I told that elderly woman “I AM COMING TO GET IT TODAY!” I didn’t want anyone else snatching it…. there was me driving down the road in my Durango with this monster hanging out the back hatch window…. I was whistling a happy tune, smiling from ear to ear… HE HE…
I painted the shelf and knobs with black satin spray paint. I, of course had to cover all seven faux drawers first with painters tape and then I painted the faux drawers “Bleach Sand” acrylic paint. I sanded the whole thing everywhere including the knobs and faux drawers.
Anyway, you can find shelf’s like mine (I don’t think as long) at Roberts Crafts or Michaels. Unless you make one yourselves. I HAVE TO SAY, ITS one of MY FAV. thing’s to decorate, I THOROUGHLY ENJOY IT. You all will see it alot in my posts when it comes to decor or crafts. HOPE THAT IS OK! I also hope this answered your question to some of you others who were also wondering. I love your emails and appreciate all of them. hugs, jen 
I freakin love your shelf! I told the hubs he must make me one for Valentines Day! He chuckled and said o.k. We will see if that happens 😉
